Description

흡수식 냉동기의 수용액 결정 방지 장치Determination device of aqueous solution of absorption chiller

본 발명은 흡수식 냉동기에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 흡수식 냉동기에서 사용하는 수용액의 결정화를 방지하기 위한 제어 장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an absorption chiller, and more particularly, to a control device for preventing crystallization of an aqueous solution used in an absorption chiller.

일반적으로, 흡수식 냉동기는 수용액인 브롬화리듐(LiBr)과 냉매인 물(H2O)의 이원 혼합물, 즉 희석용액을 매체로 사용한다.Generally, an absorption chiller uses a binary mixture of an aqueous solution of lithium bromide (LiBr) and a refrigerant of water (H 2 O), that is, a diluent solution as a medium.

이러한 흡수식 냉동기의 냉매는 증기로 바뀌어 응축기(condenser)에 의해 응축되며, 냉매 증기는 증발기(evaporator)로 흘러들어가 흡수기(absorber)에서 수용액의 작용에 의해 증발 또는 흡수된다. 또한, 재생기(regenerator)는 희석 용액으로부터 수용액과 냉매를 분리시켜 증발기와 흡수기로 공급시킨다.The refrigerant in the absorption refrigerator is converted into steam and condensed by a condenser, and the refrigerant vapor flows into the evaporator and is evaporated or absorbed by the action of an aqueous solution in the absorber. In addition, a regenerator separates the aqueous solution and the refrigerant from the dilute solution and supplies the evaporator and the absorber.

이와 같은 흡수식 냉동기에 대한 하나의 종래 기술의 예를 도 3을 참조하여 상세히 설명한다.An example of one prior art for such an absorption chiller will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

도 3에 나타난 바와 같이, 흡수식 냉동기는 증발기(10)와 흡수기(12)에서 냉매 증기가 수용액에 흡수될 때, 증기 상태에서 냉매로 변화하면서 응축잠열과 수용액이 수분을 흡수하여 농도가 낮아지면서 희석열이 발생한다. 이렇게 발생한 희석열은 흡수기의 튜브(tube)(13)로 공급되는 냉각수에 의해 제거되고, 냉각수는 다시 차가운 상태로 냉각된다.As shown in FIG. 3, when the refrigerant vapor is absorbed into the aqueous solution in the evaporator 10 and the absorber 12, the absorption heat is changed into the refrigerant in the vapor state while the latent heat of condensation and the aqueous solution absorb moisture and the concentration of the dilution heat decreases. This happens. The dilution heat thus generated is removed by the cooling water supplied to the tube 13 of the absorber, and the cooling water is cooled again in a cold state.

한편, 수분을 흡수한 묽어진 수용액, 즉 희석 용액은 용액 펌프(16)의 구동에 의해 저온 열교환기(18)와 고온 열교환기(20)을 경유하여 고온 재생기(22)로 공급된다.On the other hand, the diluted aqueous solution, that is, the diluted solution, which has absorbed moisture, is supplied to the high temperature regenerator 22 via the low temperature heat exchanger 18 and the high temperature heat exchanger 20 by driving the solution pump 16.

고온 재생기(22)는 고온 열교환기(20)을 경유하여 유입된 희석용액을 버너(23)에 의해 재가열하여 고온 증기와 농축된 수용액으로 분리시킨다.The high temperature regenerator 22 reheats the dilution solution introduced via the high temperature heat exchanger 20 by the burner 23 to separate the hot vapor and the concentrated aqueous solution.

고온 증기는 저온 재생기의 튜브(25) 내부로 보내지고, 농축 수용액은 고온 열교환기(20)에서 열교환된 후에 저온 재생기(24)로 보내지며 고온 재생기(22)와 연결된 튜브(25)를 통과하여 증기에 의해 재가열된다.The hot steam is sent into the tube 25 of the cold regenerator, the concentrated aqueous solution is heat exchanged in the hot heat exchanger 20 and then sent to the cold regenerator 24 and passes through the tube 25 connected to the hot regenerator 22 Reheated by steam

재가열된 농축 수용액은 흡수기(12)로 공급되어 다시 냉매 증기를 흡수하는 과정을 반복하며, 고온 재생기(22)에서 증발된 냉매증기는 응축기(26)로 공급되고, 냉각수에 의해 냉각 응축된다. 응축된 냉매는 압력차와 중력에 의해 액화상태로 증발기(10)에 공급된다.The reheated concentrated aqueous solution is supplied to the absorber 12 to repeat the process of absorbing the refrigerant vapor again, and the refrigerant vapor evaporated in the high temperature regenerator 22 is supplied to the condenser 26 and cooled and condensed by the cooling water. The condensed refrigerant is supplied to the evaporator 10 in a liquefied state by the pressure difference and gravity.

이때, 흡수식 냉동기에서 수용액으로 사용되는 브롬화리듐은 고농축 상태에서 희석되지 않고 방치될 경우, 액이 굳어버리는 현상을 보이게 된다. 특히, 저온 재생기(24)의 용액 토출측과 흡수기(12)의 입구 구간(저온 재생기(24)→저온 열교환기(18)→흡수기(12)에 이르는 경로)이 결정이 가장 발생되기 쉬운 부분으로, 이러한 부분에 결정이 형성되면, 이 결정에 의해 경로가 막히어 더 이상 수용액이 흐르지 못하게 된다.At this time, the lithium bromide used as an aqueous solution in the absorption refrigerator shows a phenomenon that the liquid hardens when left undiluted in a high concentration state. In particular, the solution discharge side of the low temperature regenerator 24 and the inlet section of the absorber 12 (the path from the low temperature regenerator 24 to the low temperature heat exchanger 18 to the absorber 12) are the parts where crystals are most likely to occur. If a crystal is formed in this part, the path is blocked by the crystal, and the aqueous solution no longer flows.

이러한 수용액의 결정을 제거하기 위해, 종래의 흡수식 냉동기에는 저온 재생기(24)에서 저온 열교환기(18)를 거치지 않고, 직접 흡수기(12)로 수용액을 흘려보내는 관(44)이 설치되어 있다.In order to remove the crystal of such an aqueous solution, the conventional absorption chiller is provided with a pipe 44 for flowing the aqueous solution directly to the absorber 12 without passing through the low temperature heat exchanger 18 from the low temperature regenerator 24.

즉, 저온 열교환기(18) 내부에 결정이 발생하여 저온 재생기(24)에 있던 수용액이 더 이상 흐르지 못하면, 오버 플로우(over-flow)가 발생하게 되어, 상단에 설치되어 있는 관(44)을 통해 직접 흡수기(12)로 유입되게 된다. 흡수기(12)에 유입된 수용액은 냉매와 희석되고, 수분 흡수과정에서 발생하는 희석열에 의해 흡수기 내의 온도를 상승시키고, 저온 열교환기(18)를 가열하게 되므로써, 수용액 결정을 제거하게 된다.That is, when a crystal occurs in the low temperature heat exchanger 18 and the aqueous solution in the low temperature regenerator 24 no longer flows, an overflow occurs, causing the pipe 44 provided at the upper end to be opened. It is directly introduced into the absorber 12 through. The aqueous solution introduced into the absorber 12 is diluted with the refrigerant, and the temperature in the absorber is raised by the dilution heat generated during the water absorption process, thereby heating the low temperature heat exchanger 18, thereby removing the aqueous solution crystals.

그러나, 상술한 종래의 수용액 결정 제거장치는 몇가지 문제점들을 안고 있다.However, the conventional aqueous solution crystal removal apparatus described above has some problems.

첫째, 수용액의 결정을 제거할 뿐, 사전에 방지하지는 못한다. 즉, 일단 결정이 발생된 후에 동작하는 장치이므로 배관 및 열교환기의 부식 속도가 가속화하여 장치의 수명이 급격히 감소된다.First, it only removes the crystals of the aqueous solution, but does not prevent it in advance. That is, since the device operates once the crystal is generated, the corrosion rate of the pipe and the heat exchanger is accelerated, and the life of the device is drastically reduced.

둘째, 수용액의 결정이 완전하게 제거되지 않으므로 배관 및 열교환기 외부에서 토치나 그외 다른 방법으로 가열을 해야만 한다. 따라서, 많은 시간과 인력이 소요된다.Secondly, since the crystals in the aqueous solution are not completely removed, the torch or other method must be heated outside the pipe and heat exchanger. Therefore, it takes a lot of time and manpower.

이러한 문제점들로 인해, 결정 발생시 흡수식 냉동기의 원활한 구동이 이루어지지 못하게된다.These problems prevent the smooth operation of the absorption chiller when crystals are generated.

따라서, 본 발명은 상술한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출한 것으로, 냉동기의 구동중에 수용액의 결정화가 가장 발생하기 쉬운 부분, 즉 저온 재생기의 용액 토출측과 흡수기의 입구 구간 사이에서 발생되는 수용액의 결정화를 사전에 감지하여 방지할 수 있는 흡수식 냉동기의 수용액 결정 방지 장치를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in advance the crystallization of the aqueous solution generated between the solution discharge side of the low temperature regenerator and the inlet section of the absorber during the operation of the refrigerator most easily occurs. It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for preventing the determination of an aqueous solution of an absorption refrigerator that can be detected and prevented.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명에 따르면, 유입되는 수용액을 열교환시키는 저온 열교환기가 구비되는 흡수식 냉동기에서 구동중에 발생되는 수용액의 결정화를 방지하는 장치에 있어서, 상기 저온 열교환기에 장착되어 상기 저온 열교환기로 유입되는 상기 수용액의 온도를 감지하는 온도센서; 상기 저온 열교환기에 장착되어 상기 저온 열교환기로 유입되는 상기 수용액의 압력을 감지하는 압력센서; 상기 온도센서와 압력센서로 각각 입력되는 상기 수용액의 온도와 압력을 연산하여 상기 수용액의 농도를 계산하고 상기 계산된 수용액 농도와 상기 저온 열교환기로 유입될 때의 상기 수용액의 절대온도에 대응하는 결정 농도값을 비교하여 상기 계산된 수용액 농도가 상기 기설정 농도보다 크거나 같을 때 상기 수용액의 희석제어를 수행하는 마이크로컴퓨터로 구성되는 것을 특징으로 하는 흡수식 냉동기의 수용액 결정 방지 장치를 제공한다.According to the present invention for achieving the above object, in the apparatus for preventing the crystallization of the aqueous solution generated during operation in the absorption chiller equipped with a low-temperature heat exchanger for heat-exchanging the aqueous solution, the low-temperature heat exchanger is installed in the cold heat exchanger A temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the aqueous solution; A pressure sensor mounted on the low temperature heat exchanger and detecting a pressure of the aqueous solution flowing into the low temperature heat exchanger; The concentration of the aqueous solution is calculated by calculating the temperature and the pressure of the aqueous solution respectively input to the temperature sensor and the pressure sensor, and the crystal concentration corresponding to the calculated aqueous solution concentration and the absolute temperature of the aqueous solution when flowing into the low temperature heat exchanger. It provides a solution for preventing the determination of aqueous solution of the absorption chiller, comprising a microcomputer for performing dilution control of the aqueous solution when the calculated aqueous solution concentration is greater than or equal to the predetermined concentration by comparing the values.

본 발명의 상기 및 기타 목적과 여러 가지 장점은 이 기술분야에 숙련된 사람들에 의해 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 하기에 기술되는 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예로부터 더욱 명확하게 될 것이다.The above and other objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the present invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 대하여 상세하게 설명한다.Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

도 1을 참조하면, 본 발명에 따른 흡수식 냉동기의 수용액 결정 방지 장치의 블록도가 도시된다.1, a block diagram of an apparatus for preventing the determination of an aqueous solution of an absorption chiller according to the present invention is shown.

저온 열교환기(18)에 흐르는 농축된 수용액의 상태 변화가 이루어지기 시작하면, 수용액의 온도와 압력차가 발생하고 온도센서(28)와 압력센서(30)는 변화된 온도와 압력을 마이크로컴퓨터(32)로 출력시킨다. 마이크로컴퓨터(32)에서는 이러한 온도와 압력을 연산하여 수용액의 농도를 계산하고 계산된 수용액 농도와 절대온도에 대응하는 수용액의 결정 농도를 비교하여 계산된 수용액 농도가 절대온도에서의 결정 농도보다 크거나 같을 때 수용액을 희석제어하게 된다.When the state change of the concentrated aqueous solution flowing in the low temperature heat exchanger 18 starts to occur, the temperature and pressure difference of the aqueous solution occurs and the temperature sensor 28 and the pressure sensor 30 change the temperature and pressure of the microcomputer 32. To the output. The microcomputer 32 calculates the concentration of the aqueous solution by calculating such temperature and pressure, and compares the calculated aqueous solution concentration with the crystal concentration of the aqueous solution corresponding to the absolute temperature, and the calculated aqueous solution concentration is greater than the crystal concentration at the absolute temperature. When the same, the aqueous solution is diluted control.

수용액의 희석제어는 고온재생기(22)에서 더 이상 가열 농축시키지 않으면서 각열교환기 수용액의 농도를 균일하게 민들어 주는 제어과정을 의미한다. 이러한 희석제어는 수용액의 결정화가 이루어지기 전에 수용액의 상태를 감지하여, 저온 열교환기(18)의 가열에 따른 농도저하로, 수용액의 원활한 흐름이 이루어지도록 한다.Dilution control of the aqueous solution refers to a control process of uniformly reducing the concentration of each heat exchanger aqueous solution without further heating and concentrating in the high temperature regenerator 22. This dilution control senses the state of the aqueous solution before the crystallization of the aqueous solution is made, so that the concentration of the lower temperature heat exchanger 18, the smooth flow of the aqueous solution is achieved.

한편, 온도센서(28)와 압력센서(30)에서 감지된 수용액 상태변화에 대응하여 마이크로컴퓨터(32)는 콘트롤 패널(도시안됨)상에 위치한 표시기(34), 예를들어 LED를 통해 저온 열교환기(18) 내부에 수용액 결정화가 이루어졌다는 것을 표시할 수 있다. 또한, 부저(buzzer)(36)를 별도로 장착하여 수용액 결정화를 알리는 경보음을 울리게 함으로써, 사용자가 이를 인지할 수 있도록 할 수도 있다. 즉, 마이크로컴퓨터(32)는 온도센서(28)와 압력센서(30)로부터 감지된 수용액의 온도 및 압력에 의거하여 수용액의 결정화 시작 여부를 판단하게 되고, 수용액의 결정화가 시작되는 것으로 판단되면, 상술한 바와 같은 희석 제어 과정을 수행함과 동시에 표시기(34)나 부저(36)를 통해 수용액의 결정화를 사용자가 인식할 수 있도록 알리게 된다.On the other hand, in response to the state change of the aqueous solution detected by the temperature sensor 28 and the pressure sensor 30, the microcomputer 32 is a low-temperature heat exchange through the indicator 34, for example, LED located on the control panel (not shown) It can be shown that the aqueous solution crystallization has occurred inside the group (18). In addition, a buzzer 36 may be separately installed so that an alarm sound notifying the crystallization of the aqueous solution may be sounded, so that the user may recognize it. That is, the microcomputer 32 determines whether to start the crystallization of the aqueous solution based on the temperature and pressure of the aqueous solution detected from the temperature sensor 28 and the pressure sensor 30, and if it is determined that the crystallization of the aqueous solution is started, At the same time as performing the dilution control process as described above through the indicator 34 or the buzzer 36 to inform the user of the crystallization of the aqueous solution.

본 발명에 따라, 온도센서와 압력센서를 구비한 흡수식 냉동기의 계통도를 도시하는 도 2를 참조하여, 그 작동이 상세히 설명된다.According to the invention, with reference to FIG. 2, which shows a schematic diagram of an absorption chiller having a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor, the operation thereof is described in detail.

먼저 사용자의 운전 신호 입력에 따라 냉매펌프(14)와 용액펌프(16)가 구동되고, 대략 20∼30분 정도의 예비 운전 시간을 가진 후에 정상 사이클이 형성된다. 그리하여 흡수식 냉동기가 구동되면, 냉매펌프(14)와 배관으로 연결되는 하부 쉘(shell)(40)은 대략 6㎜Hg 정도의 고진공을 유지한다. 이러한 하부 쉘(40)에는 배관을 흐르는 냉매인 물이 노즐(38)을 통해 분무되는 증발기(10)가 설치되고, 증발기(10) 내부에는 냉수가 흐르는 증발기 튜브(11)가 설치되어 냉매 펌프(14)에 의해 분무되는 냉매가 그 압력에 대응하는 포화온도에서 끓어 냉수에서 열을 빼앗아 증발할 수 있도록 한다. 따라서, 냉수는 차가운 상태로 냉각된다.First, the refrigerant pump 14 and the solution pump 16 are driven in response to a user's operation signal input, and a normal cycle is formed after a preliminary operation time of about 20 to 30 minutes. Thus, when the absorption chiller is driven, the lower shell 40, which is connected to the refrigerant pump 14 and the pipe, maintains a high vacuum of about 6 mmHg. The lower shell 40 is provided with an evaporator 10 through which water, which is a refrigerant flowing through a pipe, is sprayed through the nozzle 38, and an evaporator tube 11 through which cold water flows is installed inside the evaporator 10 to provide a refrigerant pump ( The refrigerant sprayed by 14) boils at the saturation temperature corresponding to the pressure to take heat from the cold water and allow it to evaporate. Thus, cold water is cooled in a cold state.

또한, 흡수기(12)에서는 증발된 증기가 수용액인 브롬화리듐에 의해 흡수되면서 응축잠열이 발생하고, 수용액이 수분을 흡수하여 농도가 낮아짐과 동시에 희석열이 발생한다. 이러한 희석열을 제거하기 위해서 흡수기(12)내에 냉각수가 흐르는 흡수기튜브(13)를 설치한다.In addition, in the absorber 12, the latent heat of condensation is generated while the vaporized vapor is absorbed by the aqueous solution of lithium bromide, and the aqueous solution absorbs moisture to lower the concentration and at the same time, the dilution heat is generated. In order to remove such dilution heat, an absorber tube 13 through which cooling water flows is installed in the absorber 12.

한편, 수분을 흡수한 묽어진 수용액, 즉 희석용액은 흡수기(12) 하부에 설치되는 용액펌프(16)에 의해 저온 열교환기(18)와 고온 열교환기(20)를 경유하여 고온 재생기(22)로 공급된다.On the other hand, the diluted aqueous solution that absorbed the water, that is, the dilution solution is the high temperature regenerator 22 via the low temperature heat exchanger 18 and the high temperature heat exchanger 20 by the solution pump 16 installed under the absorber 12. Is supplied.

이러한 희석용액은 고온 재생기(22)의 하부에 위치한 버너(23)에 의해 재가열되고, 고온 증기와 농축된 수용액으로 분리시키며, 대략 그 진공압력이 60㎜Hg인 응축기(26)와 저온 재생기(24)로 구성된 상부 쉘(42)로 보내어진다. 이중에서 고온 증기는 저온 재생기(24)의 저온 재생기 튜브(25) 내부로 보내진다.This dilution solution is reheated by a burner 23 located below the hot regenerator 22, separated into hot steam and concentrated aqueous solution, and the low temperature regenerator 24 and the condenser 26 whose vacuum pressure is approximately 60 mmHg. Is sent to the upper shell 42 composed of The hot steam is sent inside the cold regenerator tube 25 of the cold regenerator 24.

이어서, 농축된 수용액은 고온 열교환기(20)에서 열교환된 후에 저온 재생기(24)로 보내지고, 고온 재생기(22)에서 연결된 저온 재생기 튜브(25)를 통과하는 증기에 의해 가열된다. 또한, 증발된 냉매증기는 응축기(26)로 공급되어 흡수기(12)에서 희석열을 흡수한 냉각수에 의해 냉각 응축되어 액화 상태로 증발기(10)에 공급된다. 또한, 농축된 수용액은 저온 열교환기(18)를 거쳐 흡수기(12)에 분무되면서 흡수된다. 이처럼 농축용액은 흡수기(12)로 공급되어 다시 냉매증기를 흡수하는 과정을 반복한다.The concentrated aqueous solution is then heat exchanged in the hot heat exchanger 20 and then sent to the cold regenerator 24 and heated by steam passing through the cold regenerator tube 25 connected in the hot regenerator 22. In addition, the evaporated refrigerant vapor is supplied to the condenser 26, cooled and condensed by the cooling water absorbed dilution heat in the absorber 12, and is supplied to the evaporator 10 in a liquefied state. In addition, the concentrated aqueous solution is absorbed while being sprayed into the absorber 12 via the low temperature heat exchanger 18. As such, the concentrated solution is supplied to the absorber 12 to repeat the process of absorbing the refrigerant vapor again.

그리고, 증발기(10)의 노즐(38)에 뿌려진 냉매는 냉매 박스(도시안됨)에 모여지고 냉매 펌프(14)에 의해 증발기(10)의 증발기 튜브(11)로 분사되는 과정을 반복하게 된다.In addition, the refrigerant sprayed on the nozzle 38 of the evaporator 10 is collected in a refrigerant box (not shown), and the process of being injected into the evaporator tube 11 of the evaporator 10 by the refrigerant pump 14 is repeated.

이때, 저온 열교환기(18) 내부에 장착된 수용액 결정화 방지를 위한 온도센서(28)와 압력센서(30)는, 농축된 수용액이 저온 재생기(24)로부터 흡수기(12)로 분무되는 과정에서, 수용액 정체에 따른 수용액 상태변화가 이루어지기 시작할 때, 이러한 변화, 즉 수용액의 온도와 압력을 감지하게 된다. 그리고, 마이크로컴퓨터(32)는 감지된 온도와 압력으로부터 수용액의 결정화가 시작된 것으로 판단되면, 냉동기의 희석제어 과정을 수행하게 된다.At this time, the temperature sensor 28 and the pressure sensor 30 for preventing the crystallization of the aqueous solution mounted in the low temperature heat exchanger 18, in the process of spraying the concentrated aqueous solution from the low temperature regenerator 24 to the absorber 12, When the change in the state of the aqueous solution due to the stagnation of the aqueous solution starts, the change, that is, the temperature and pressure of the aqueous solution is sensed. If it is determined that the crystallization of the aqueous solution has been started from the sensed temperature and pressure, the microcomputer 32 performs the dilution control process of the refrigerator.

이상 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 흡수식 냉동기의 수용액 결정 방지를 위해 냉동기 내부에 온도센서와 압력센서를 장착하고 수용액의 농도를 사전에 감지하여 희석 운전시키므로써, 정확한 수용액 결정화의 여부를 감지할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 결정화에 따른 냉동기 수명단축과 인력낭비를 방지하며 수용액 결정을 제거하기 위한 관을 제거함으로써 냉동기의 제조 원가를 절감할 수 있는 효과가 있다.As described above, the present invention is equipped with a temperature sensor and a pressure sensor inside the freezer to prevent the determination of the aqueous solution of the absorption chiller and by detecting the concentration of the aqueous solution in advance to be able to detect the precise aqueous solution crystallization In addition, there is an effect that can reduce the manufacturing cost of the freezer by preventing the shortening of the life of the freezer due to crystallization and waste of manpower and removing the tube for removing the aqueous solution crystal.
